Thanks!

Congratulations to each of you, as your models are well built, well painted, and well decaled. Each one represents a extremely high standard of modeling.

Was going to write up an info bit, but forgot (so here it is - paraphrasing WnW text):

"Pfalz D.IIIa, with black and white comet - personal markings of Max Holtzem of Jasta 16b in early 1918. Starting his aviation training in 1913, Max Holtzem has spent much of the Great War as Pfalz test pilot, flight instructor and posted Jasta 16b from early 1917 until the end of the War.

Max's post-war career saw him barnstorming in Argentina, test pilot for Anthony Fokker's Atlantic Aircraft Corporation in US and (by then a US Citizen) as flight inspector for P-51 Mustang assembly line during the WWII. Max remained active in aviation circles until his death in 1980.

The build is utilizing 1/32 Wingnut Wings kit #32006 - straight out of the box. The kit pays special attention to details specific to Max Holtzem's aircraft - especially "organ pipes" exhaust, as well as making early/late features easily discernible during the build. Kit comes with 4 color lozenge and lozenge ribtapes for lower and upper planes of the wings (Max's upper wing is completely overpainted in Pfalz silver gray). Fuselage personal markings are provided as multi-piece wrap around decals that register with precision and ease of application (though I've still mucked it up and had to touch up). Kit also provides an option for finished comet marking on the top wing, though I have opted for historically accurate unfinished black star."

Congrats on the win! excellent models entered indeed.
Curious..anyone know how long it generally takes to receive a prize from Dragon?

You took September if I recall - should be arriving shortly... I'm also in US and prizes originate from Dragon headquarters somewhere in China, I believe.

yes thats right..anxious to know what it is
